Book/join this day excursion from Marrakech and enjoy the beauty Morocco can offer.

This full day Trip starts with an early departure from heading to Demnate (the most ancient village in Morocco with its’ Jewish quarter) and its fields of Olive trees. After a short visit of this village we drive towards the natural bridge of Imi Nifri where we stop for a mint tea and enjoy the view. This itinerary is unique by its greenish valleys and amazing sceneries. After reaching Tanannt, a village perched on the top of a hill, you will see an outstanding panorama onto the Jbel Ghat and the Jbel Azoukri, especially when the Atlas rock ridge is covered with snow. After Tanannt, we drive through the Entila region where fortified dwellings with square towers can be seen.

Upon arrival to Ouzoud, we walk around 10 minutes on a footpath to the upper waters of the waterfalls where grain mills operate thanks to the torrent water. We stop for Lunch in a restaurant on the cascades site

The waterfalls, which are often topped by a rainbow thanks to the spray of water falling on the rocks, join up with the Oued el Abid canyon, two kilometres below. A footpath winding among olive trees will lead you to the foot of the waterfall, where you will perhaps catch a glimpse of wild monkeys.
